Critique
This book covered a lot of chapters on Teens and how they deal with race in different areas such as growing up biracial, and not being able to speak English and dealing with desegregation plus many other topics that everyone deals with everyday. This was one of the things that i liked about the book because it covered every area/issue about racism. The sociology issues in this book were realistic, i believe all of the results in the graphs and charts were true facts in really looked in too. One of the things i would change about the book would be, more information i would have liked this book to be longer and wanted to read more about the different topics. The information that i got from this book was really interesting and useful. The most useful info. was the section about Emmett Till, because i knew some info about this story but not everything and i thought it was very good to know the main issue about the story. The biracial chapter was good also because i have some friends that are biracial. Reading this showed that growing up biracial is just as hard as growing up African-American or any other race. Having to wonder your whole life what race you consider yourself, because your parents are two different races or more seemed difficult.
